|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mental illness living in Housing First (HF) and ``treatment first{''''}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(TF) supportive housing programs experience employment. Research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
questions include: How do these individuals experience employment in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
context of their mental health recovery? What do they perceive as the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefits of and obstacles to attaining employment? Are there
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
programmatic differences in their employment experiences? Method: Case
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study analyses of data from a federally funded qualitative study were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conducted of 40 individuals purposively sampled from HF and TF programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Data were independently analyzed and consensually discussed to develop
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
crass-case themes. Results: Three themes emerged: (a) the meaning of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work, (b) working within the system, and (c) balancing treatment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
requirements and work. While none of the study participants had
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
full-time jobs, more HF program clients had part-time employment than
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their TF counterparts. Of the 12 employed participants. all but 2 worked
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
within their respective programs. Participants in both groups described
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
similar benefits of obtaining employment. but TF program requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inhibited job-seeking. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: These
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
findings provide insight into the challenges of obtaining employment for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
formerly homeless individuals with serious mental illness residing in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supportive housing. Despite the motivation to work, individual,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
structural. and organizational factors impeded employment. To address
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this problem. factors at each of these levels will need to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
considered. Interventions such as supported employment offer promise to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supportive housing programs committed to employment as a contributor to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recovery.'
